Matthew Bible Study: Chapter 21, part 1

2

He sets the captives free, they celebrate.
He comes for the bride and her daughter but the stewards think if they kill him they will have her for themselves.
But they are free.

MENE MENE TEKEL PERES
The stewards of the people are stripped of their role until they say, "Blessed is he who comes in the name of HaShem."

"Rabbi Alexandri said, 'Rabbi Y'hoshua set two verses against each other: It is written, "And behold, one like the son of man came with the clouds of heaven" (Daniel 7:13), while elsewhere it is written, "See, your king comes unto you,... humbly riding on a donkey" (Zechariah 9:9). [He resolved the paradox by saying that] if they deserve it (he will come] with the clouds of heaven, but if not, lowly and riding on an ass.'"(Sanhedrin 98a)
